Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealing device and method for sealing a casing.
  • casings are for instance used in a wellbore for optionally sealing the casing to e.g. to circulate fluid through the casing.
  • US 5,632,952 discloses an extendable casing circulator and method for sealing that may be utilised in either a conventional drilling rig, or in a top drive rig.
  • the sealing device is brought into the casing using an extension device after which a packer element is inflated. This inflated packer element is deflated before withdrawal of the sealing device.
  • the sealing device comprises a top cap that is put over the casing.
  • Document US 4, 457, 369 discloses a sealing device for sealing a casing comprising sealing segments and wedges as in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Document US 2004/000405 and US 5,735,348 disclose a valve and the filling and circulating of drilling fluids in a casing, respectively.
  • Casings that are used in e.g. oil industry show a variation in diameter and/or of their circular shape due to e.g. production tolerances.
  • To bring a sealing device into a casing requires a relatively large gap between the outside dimeter of the sealing device and the inside diameter of the casing in order to deal with the variations.
  • there is a variation of nominal diameters between different casings that may increase the opening or gap if these have to be sealed with the same sealing device.
  • This requires additional sealing measures, like an inflatable device, to seal such a gap. Due to the enormous pressure that may occur inside the casing, e.g. in a range of 200-1000 bar due to the e.g. gas pockets, these additional sealing measures may leak, damage etc..
  • the forces acting on an extendable sealing device may become large, thereby requiring large dimensions of such a sealing device.
  • the present invention has for its objects to provide a sealing device for sealing a casing and (partly) obviate at least some of the above problems.
  • the present invention provides a sealing device for sealing a casing comprising:
  • the sealing device is brought into the casing with the housing of such a sealing device having an outside diameter that, at the time of entering the sealing device into the casing, is smaller than the inside diameter of this casing.
  • a core is located that is provided with sliding surfaces.
  • At least two, but preferably four, sealing segments are in slidable engagement with this core and may slide over the sliding surfaces of the core.
  • the sealing segments slide over the sliding surfaces of the core. This sliding will change the outside diameter of the sealing device on at least one position of this sealing device. This is achieved by providing the sliding surfaces such that, when sliding the sealing segments in longitudinal direction of the sealing device, the sealing segments are directed radially from the core.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that it is easier to bring a sealing device into a casing, thereby minimizing the time required to achieve the sealing of a casing.
  • a further advantage of the invention is the obtaining of a larger flexibility for the range of nominal casing diameters that may be sealed with one specific sealing device. Furthermore, by reducing the number of parts and allowing a larger flexibility of diameters of the casings a more efficient operation may be achieved.
  • the sealing device comprises first actuating means for moving the sealing segments and the wedges relative to the core, and second actuating means for moving the wedges relative to the core and the sealing segments.
  • first actuating means move the sealing segments and the wedges relative to the core over the sliding surfaces to increase the outside diameter of the sealing device inside the casing.
  • second step the lack of material on the outside diameter of the sealing devices is compensated by moving the wedges relative to the sealing segments, thereby adding material on the outside diameter of the sealing device inside the casing. This will result in a more or less mechanical sealing of the casing by the sealing device.
  • sealing segments, wedges and core comprise a sealing strip.
  • the sealing device By providing a sealing strip on the outside of the sealing segments and the wedges the sealing device will seal over the entire inside perimeter of the casing, also in presence of all kinds of variations and tolerances.
  • the sealing strip is made of a poly-urethane material that is preferably located into recesses provided in the sealing segments and the wedges.
  • a sealing strip may extend about 1 mm outside the sealing segments and wedges.
  • the core may be provided with a notch over its outside diameter. This notch may be filled with a sealing ring.
  • a further advantage of these sealing strips is that the sealing device may cope with an even larger range of casing diameters, variances and tolerances.
  • the core of the sealing device comprises a supply channel.
  • the supply channel is used to provide a wellbore with a fluid. This will be relevant when running casing into a hole, as the casing is normally filled with fluid as new joints are added to the casing string to prevent the collapse of the casing during the run-in operation. Also, the fluid may be required to remove sand etc. from the casing.
  • the sealing device By combining the sealing device with the supply channel a more efficient operation may be achieved, also in case of a casing being stuck in the hole. This combination prevents the use of separate equipment to free a stuck casing.
  • a further advantage of such a combination is that by supplying the liquid, and at the same time sealing the casing, an increased pressure may be realised inside the casing.
  • the sealing device comprises a valve for closing the supply channel.
  • valve prevents fluids flowing from the casing into the supply channel.
  • the valve comprises guiding means to guide the sealing device into the casing. By designing the shape of the relevant parts of the valve this valve may act as guiding means thereby speeding up the sealing operation.
  • the valve of the sealing device comprises spring means. By adding spring means to the valve it is possible to incorporate a safety measure into the sealing device. This safety measure is actuated e.g. in case the pressure inside the supply channel increases. Thus, such a pressure increase will be limited, thereby preventing damage to the sealing device.
  • the supply channel is provided with an (threaded) insert on the exit of the supply channel that may be easily replaced.
  • this insert as the weakest part of the sealing device most of the damage will be accumulated in this insert. This will prevent damage to the other parts of the sealing device. As the insert is relatively easily removed and changed with an other insert damage and maintains costs will be reduced.
  • the sealing device comprises friction means to hold the sealing devices relative to the casing.
  • additional friction means in the form of claws and/or teeth will be provided.
  • the friction means only act on the surface of the casing if the sealing device actually seals the casing.
  • the invention further relates to a method for sealing a casing.
  • a conventional drilling rig 2 ( figure 1 ) comprises the sealing device 4.
  • the rig 2 comprises a lifting device or travelling block 6 capable of transferring the top drive 8.
  • an elevator 10 provided with hooks 12.
  • the elevator 10 supports in a conventional manner casing 14.
  • the elevator 10 is connected to lifting device 6 by links 16.
  • the sealing device 4 is connected with a liquid or mud supply 18 by connecting part 20 and hoses 22.
  • two hoses 22 are provided to have a stable orientation of the sealing device 4.
  • hoses 22 are provided with a sufficient length between connecting part 20 and entry part 24 to allow for a vertical displacement of the sealing device by hoist device 26.
  • Hoist device 26 is connected to the sealing device 4 by connection 28.
  • the sealing device 4 is provided with connections 30 for oil. Oil is supplied by hoses 32 from an oil supply and controller 34. These hoses 32 are also provided with a length sufficient for vertically displacing sealing device 4.
  • the sealing mechanism 36 ( figure 2 ) comprises a core 38 provided with a supply channel 40 for the supply of mud. Core 38 also comprises a notch or groove 39 for a sealing ring. Sealing mechanism 36 further comprises sealing segments 42 and wedges 44. A wedge 44 may slide over sliding surfaces 46 of core 38. Sealing segment 42 may slide over sliding surface 48 of core 38. Wedge 44 moves relative to the sealing segment 42 over side surface 50 of sealing segment 42. The sealing mechanism 36 may be located into casing 14 to seal this casing. The sliding surfaces 48 are put at an angle with the longitudinal direction of the sealing device 4 and, therefore, transfers the segments 42 radially when sliding over core 38.
  • the sealing device or fill-up tool 4 ( figures 3A-3D ) comprises a connecting part 28 that is connected to hoist device 26.
  • the sealing device 4 also comprises connection 20 for supply of liquid or mud.
  • Top lid 52 comprises connections 54 for oil supply. This oil may be brought into chamber 56 that is used to slide wedges 44 relative to sliding segments 42 and core 38. Chamber 56 is sealed with seals 58 and 60. To remove wedges 44 and sealing segments 42 from the sidewall to the casting, thereby removing the sealing of casing 14, chamber 62 is filled. Oil chamber 62 is sealed with seals 60 and 68. The wedges 44 are moved by wedge axes 64.
  • the bottom side of chamber 62 is formed by the stationary part 66.
  • the stationary part 66 is connected to the housing 70 through bolts or screws 72.
